Beskrivelse
Following the publication of his counter-cultural novel of the 1970's era, The Green And The Blonde, John Thomas Baker now brings the reader six short stories, each exploring a variety of circumstances within the human dynamic. In 'Failure to File' a tax accountant meets an unexpected client, prompting a reminder of his own individual struggle. A thirty-something waiter argues his case against the changes occurring in his current hometown. ('Table Six'). In 'Wedding of the Week' members of a family reflect on the difficulties of their past. In 'The Laws of Nature According to Ballpark Frank' Sean McAllister returns from the "G&B", crossing paths with a man in Pollard Creek who lives a life without restraint. In 'The Secret', a young girl of eighteen goes on a 1940's journey to escape a sin she mistakenly commits. And in the title piece, 'Western Swing', a sister and brother meet for a road trip to their birthplace in the Great Northwest, while mulling the time and changes facing their lives. Six stories, six narratives of American time and place. A must read.
